The Environmental Protection Agency Thursday rejected an effort to keep it from regulating greenhouse gas emissions, saying that e-mails released in last fall’s “Climategate” scandal gave it no reason to reconsider the science of global warming.
In a sternly written opinion, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said she didn’t agree with requests from the GOP attorneys general from Texas and Virginia, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other conservative groups that questioned the underlying science linking humans to global warming and also warned of the potential economic burdens from new climate rules.
Jackson said the groups’ arguments lack merit.
“These petitions — based as they are on selectively edited, out-of-context data and a manufactured controversy — provide no evidence to undermine our determination,” Jackson wrote.
Regarding the e-mails, Jackson said an agency review of the materials show “a candid discussion of scientists working through issues that arise in compiling and presenting large complex data sets.” She said four independent reviews have reached similar conclusions.
EPA’s rules have added weight for the Obama administration now that the Senate has punted for the year on plans to pass a cap-and-trade bill to address climate change.

dont they have to go to court...
The court has already ruled that CO2 is a pollutant, and the EPA has been granted the authority to regulate pollution. A court challenge is being made, but I believe SCOTUS decided on the CO2 issue already so not sure what the new challenges are about.
I thought "opinions" were things "judges" wrote, not something stated by a bureaucrat (political hack).
Warning, Will Rogers! November is Coming and with it a Tsunami.
The only motive most of these Obama hacks have is to STEAL STUFF ~ otherwise they are grossly incapable.
Has anyone checked to see if the credentials she claims are legitimate?
“Nazi” is no longer hyperbole.
The epa was created by Nixon via executive order. President Palin MUST RESCEND THAT ORDER!

Massive public noncompliance and resistance. It's time.
They want my Denali to test, and perform maintenance and inspection, voluntarily.
They will provide me with a late-model loaner car, and $20 a day, or just $50 a day, or my vehicle returned with a full tank of fuel. (for l to 4 wks)
Anyone ever heard of this? Is this normal?
Civil disobedience is a great idea but what would that look like as far as the EPA?
Roasted delta smelt sandwiches with snail garter sauce. The main course could be medallions of braized polar bear.
What model/year Denali. I have an 06 CC p/u.

The only reason they were “endangered” was the supposed global warming, and people thought a bear that spends so much time in the water it is called a marine mammal was going to drown because the ice under it was supposedly melting!
This is truly Bizarro World. If someone in nuclear physics e-mailed another physicist and said they used a “trick” to “hide the decline” in radioisotope decay, would you STILL trust their calculations?
Fake but accurate! It isn't just Dan Rather these days!
Btw, (I am still reading all the paperwork that came in this envelope), there is a card with our name, make, and vin #.
The card has in bold:
THIS INFORMATION REQUEST IS AUTHORIZED BY LAW...WHETHER OR NOT YOU PLAN TO PARTICIPATE PLEASE RETURN THIS CARD IN THE ENVELOPE.
It has 10 questions to answer, including one asking if I will participate.
Of course I will not.
Wow, how much of our tax dollars did this cost????
This idiot-ridden adminstration is out of control and needs to be thrown in jail for a long time. =.=
How about tar and feather and toss into the sea.
They are talking about the manufactured AGW "science"...Right?
